[Steve McCoy]

Sorry. Wish You Were Here. But obviously you weren't. :)

I've been on the fence about Purity Ring-clearly the burning up your iPod status means it's living up to the hype?

Also, have you done any posts about buying music etc? It seems we have a comparable taste, and I'm curious how you've dealt with the area of stewardship in regards to buying music. There are so many angles to come from on this one, but would love to hear your thoughts.

[Steve McCoy]

Daniel, I don't think I've written on stewardship and music. Would be a good thing to think about. Music is art and I'm a patron of the arts. It has multiple purposes for me, not mere consumption. I do have a post I've worked on and never finished on being a music consumer vs a music patron, so I probably would deal with it there.

As for Purity Ring, I dig it. Still not a verdict from me, but it's demanding more listens which is key for me to consider an album good.

[Daniel J.]

In response to my vague question, well said. Would love to hear that worked out.
